Summary:A tribute to some of the leading figures of 20th century experimental film such as Hans Richter, Robert Breer, Michael Snow, Peter Kubelka and Stan Brakhage to name a few. We come to understand how these avant-garde filmmakers often found themselves in a no man's land between the art world and the commercial film industry. It was up to filmmakers and visionaries like Jonas Mekas and the organizations he founded (Film-Makers' Cooperative, Anthology Film Archive) to help struggling filmmakers out.
